Very rarely froms seeds. Rhizome division is the best method. Dig up the clump and divide it with a sharp spade or knife, making sure that each division has a growing shoot. Larger clumps can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. Plants are not very hardy, they tolerate temperatures down to about -2°c<ref name="How to plant/cultivate"/>
